Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 978
Liang Jixiong was awakened by a burst of crying, and someone was crying again in the Canglong Hall.

Liang Yushen recruited another batch of Canglong Guards.

The children of the princess's family have all been recruited, and then it's the princess's turn. After the princess's family has been recruited, the next is the county princess.

The county head is also called the county princess. Although she is also called a princess, she is actually very far away from the main line of the royal family.

But Liang Yushen didn't dislike it. After the county princess, there was also the township princess. Liang Yushen searched in every prefecture and county. As long as there is a trace of royal blood, and the genealogy can be found, all will be collected in the Canglong Hall.

How many Canglongguards are there now?
Almost a thousand, right?
After Liang Jixiong returned to Beijing, his body has been a little weak, and he really can't care about some things.

But Liang Yushen must be stopped now.

Two days ago, he wanted to order that Canglongwei not be recruited anymore, but the response he received after praying was contrary to his idea.

Dunnian Xingjun did not respond, and it was Kang Jinlong who responded for the first time.

Liang Jixiong didn't revive Liang Gongping because Kang Jinlong would blame him. Unexpectedly, Kang Jinlong didn't mention Liang Gongping, but praised Liang Jixiong instead.

"Ji Xiong, revive the Canglong Palace, stabilize the ancestral foundation, and strengthen the Daoist sect, you have contributed a lot."

Liang Jixiong was not a greedy person, he wanted to say that this was all done by Liang Yushen.

But Kang Jinlong didn't give Liang Jixiong a chance to be humble. For nearly a cup of tea, Kang Jinlong gave Liang Jixiong all appreciation.

Liang Jixiong is a tough guy, if Kang Jinlong really used his power to force him, he really wouldn't bow his head.

Not to mention coercion, even if Kang Jinlong came to the mortal world and beat Liang Jixiong, as long as Liang Jixiong was there, he would not be subdued.

But Kang Jinlong has been admiring it so much, but it is not easy to deal with it.

Liang Jixiong wanted to stop the recruitment, but he couldn't say anything.

Two days later, Liang Jixiong prayed to Lord Dungan Xing again, and Jiaomujiao answered him.

Jiaomujiao's mind was similar to that of Kang Jinlong. He also promised Liang Jixiong that he would prepare a star palace for Liang Jixiong, and when the time was right, he would help Liang Jixiong leave the mortal world.

The admiration of the planets dragged on and off to prevent the recruitment.

But today can't drag on anymore, Liang Jixiong came to the main hall and said to Liang Yushen with a solemn expression: "Yushen, I have something to tell you."

Liang Yushen seemed to be able to guess Liang Jixiong's intentions, so he did not argue, and just listened to Liang Jixiong's orders.

Liang Jixiong was about to order to stop the recruitment of Canglongwei, when he heard that his servant Lu Yunxi asked to see him.

Liang Jixiong frowned, and invited Lu Yunxi to the main hall, and asked about the reason.

Lu Yunxi said with a serious expression: "Elder Shengwei, something happened in Yuanzhou. Your Majesty, please go to the Secret Pavilion with the First Palace Captain."

What can happen to Yuanzhou?

In Daxuan, if no one mentioned it, few people would think of the remote place of Yuanzhou.

Without delay, Liang Jixiong took Liang Yushen to the secret pavilion.

Liang Jixiong was surprised after reading the memorial of Yuanzhou magistrate.

The Nufu Cult assembled [-] congregants, raised troops in Yuanzhou, and captured the state capital in three days.

Liang Jixiong was not surprised that the Nufu Sect raised troops in Yuanzhou. He has fought all his life and has seen all kinds of scenes. The Nufu Sect members were suppressed to the point where they had nowhere to escape. It was not enough to go to a remote place to make trouble Surprised.

What really surprised Liang Jixiong was the number of nufu followers.

2 people?
Yuanzhou is sparsely populated, and it is impossible for Nufu Cult to recruit [-] followers in Yuanzhou. Where do these followers come from?

Gathered from all states and counties?

Didn't notice any rumors before?
What shocked Liang Jixiong even more was that [-] mobs could capture the capital of Yuanzhou within three days?

Yuanzhou is located on the border between Daxuan and Fanxiao, so there is a border army!

Liang Jixiong asked sharply: "Where is the Yuanzhou army? If I remember correctly, there should be [-] troops in Yuanzhou!"

Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "The thieves raised their troops very quickly. The Yuanzhou army was far away from the state capital, and they never had time to return to the defense. On the way back to the defense, they were ambushed by the thieves again and again, causing heavy casualties."

Liang Jixiong's eyes widened, suspecting that he had heard wrong.

This must have been a mistake.

The frontier army is capable of fighting, especially during the two years when Liang Yuyang was in power, the frontier army was selected from among the best and diligent in training, and its combat strength was really impressive.

The frontier army was ambushed by a group of mobs, and suffered heavy casualties.

Liang Jixiong looked solemn, and all kinds of bad thoughts came to his mind.

All the ministers in the cabinet spoke out one after another, but in conclusion, there were only two ideas.

One is to let the Yuanzhou army fight to the death, and the state capital must be taken back.

The second is to mobilize troops from the two neighboring states to besiege the state capital and wipe out the bandits.

"Yuanzhou's army has been out of battle for a long time, but they were defeated by bandits. If they can't take back the state capital, what's the use of keeping them?"

"The incident happened suddenly, and the Yuanzhou army was caught off guard. If there is no reinforcements, mutiny may occur during the hard battle."

The two sides insisted on their own words and were still arguing endlessly. The Ministry of War sent another pond report.

The Yuanzhou army was defeated, except for the death in battle and fleeing, there are only more than [-] soldiers left, and they retreat to Qinshu County on the state border for the time being.

This time there is no need to argue, the Yuanzhou army has basically lost its combat power.

How can this be so?

How could the frontier army be so unbearable!

Liang Jixiong carefully checked the Tang newspaper, and found that most of the enemy troops were well-cultivated, and their individual combat power was far higher than that of the Yuanzhou army.

The enemy generals are proficient in the art of war, and are extremely skilled in offensive and defensive deployment.

Liang Jixiong couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while, and always felt that the opponent he encountered was not the Nufu Sect.

Cabinet minister Wang Yanyang suggested immediately dispatching troops from two neighboring states to support Yuanzhou.

The two adjacent states are also borders, and a large number of troops are deployed, which is tantamount to emptying the borders. What should I do if Fan Xiao breaks in?

Moreover, once the battle is defeated again, the frontier army will suffer a large number of losses, and the entire western border will be in danger.

The cabinet minister Qiu Dongcai suggested that Chu Xin be transferred back from the southern border to command the surrounding counties and counties to wipe out the bandits.

When Chu Xin was transferred back, the Gu clan took advantage of the situation in the southern border, how should we deal with it?
What's more, even if the Gu clan didn't do anything and called Chu Xin back alone, they couldn't let Chu Xin go to battle alone. Soldiers are still needed to fight, and the source of soldiers is still a problem.

Emperor Changle asked the chief minister of the cabinet what he thought.

Yan Anqing said: "The thieves and bandits are gaining momentum, now we should block off the main traffic roads to avoid their sharp edge, and wait for their momentum to weaken, and then clear them up."

Delay strategy.

It sounds like an idea, but Liang Jixiong thought it was wrong.

If it is an ordinary thief, this move can still be delayed for a while.

But this group of thieves can defeat even the Yuanzhou army. If they march eastward, which of the other states and counties that are not on the border can stop them?

Other states and counties can't seal the main roads at all. If they use the strategy of delaying their troops, the Nufu Cult can directly hit the capital.

Emperor Changle was caught in a dilemma, and the officials couldn't think of a solution.

Liang Yushen, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Canglongwei, I am willing to send troops to fight!"

Emperor Chang Le frowned slightly, the elders of Shengwei have returned, how could it be Liang Yushen's turn to speak about the matter of Canglong Palace?
Furthermore, this is not a small battle, there are [-] people in the Nufu Sect, and there are only a few people in the Canglong Hall, and if they go, they will be given away for nothing, what is the use of saying such beautiful words?
Liang Yushen leaned over and saluted and said: "There are currently two thousand and sixty-two Canglong Guards in the Canglong Palace, all of whom are cultivated. Now I am willing to go out to fight against the bandits.
Even if this battle cannot be won, it can buy some time for His Majesty to mobilize troops and horses. Canglongwei will fight until every soldier is killed, and will never let the bandits go any further! "

More than two thousand people?

When did Canglongwei have such a battle?
Regardless of this matter for now, Liang Yuyang was really shocked by Liang Yushen's blood.

"Brother..." This was the first time Liang Yuyang called his brother, he didn't know what to say, because Liang Yushen's move seemed to embarrass Liang Jixiong.

Liang Jixiong was indeed a little embarrassed, but he heard Liang Yushen say: "The blood of the Liang family should be shed on the territory of the Liang family. Elder Shengwei, would you like to be in command? Yushen is willing to serve in front of the saddle and behind the horse!"

After saying these words, Liang Jixiong's blood also burned.

Elder Shengwei raised his head slowly and said, "Old minister, I am willing to go to war!"

……

Xu Zhiqiong sat in the inn and prayed, and not long after, Wuxu, the Star Lord of Weiyi, appeared.

"Brother, I have traveled all over the star palaces, but I haven't found the person you mentioned."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't know when I'll find it."

According to Xu Zhiqiong's train of thought, Yuan Chengfeng escaped from Xituyin Division and must have gone to Fanxiao Kingdom, so Xu Zhiqiong asked Wu Xu to search for Yuan Chengfeng's whereabouts in Fanxiao Kingdom. Several days passed without any news.

Wu Xu comforted: "Don't worry, just follow me to the Star Palace to see if anyone has sent any news."

The two went to the Weiyi Star Palace and entered the main hall, when they suddenly heard the sound of cups and plates colliding in the back hall, Wu Xu said angrily: "Here we go again!"

Eat and drink?

Who dares to eat and drink in Wu Xu's star palace?

Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu into the apse, but he saw a thin man with slender limbs, thin cheeks, and a mountain-shaped beard on his chin, holding a leg of lamb and feasting on fine wine.

Seeing Wu Xu coming, the man warmly invited: "Here comes brother, sit down!"

Wu Xu said angrily, "Is this my house or yours!"

"Whatever we care about, it's all the same."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Wu Xu and said, "Qianhu, do you know who this person is?"

Wu Xu gritted his teeth and said, "The master of your Taoism, Xue Bugao!"

The two actually knew each other!
Xue Yun looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Zhiqiong, what are you doing in a daze, come quickly, you're welcome, it's like your own home!"

Wu Xu sat at the table angrily, picked up the wine jar and was about to pour himself a bowl, looked at the wine jar carefully, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "This is the top-quality 20-year-old fragrant mash, I don't even own it. If you are willing to drink it, you drank most of it!"

Xue Yun sneered: "You face, why don't you drink it? I don't want you for nothing. I even brought you two legs of lamb."

Wu Xu gnawed on the leg of lamb, cursing as he gnawed: "You rascal, I don't know what the hell I owe you!"

"Just treat it as you owe me!" Xue Yun poured Xu Zhiqiong a bowl of wine, "Drink, brother, there is no need to be formal."

Xu Zhiqiong picked up the wine bowl, took a sip and said, "Brother, what is the result of your battle with Taotie?"

Xue Yun wiped his mouth, with a dignified expression: "This guy probably won't survive, the soul was destroyed by more than [-]% by me, but it's a pity that the snow field is too big, so he ran away in the end."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Isn't this a great victory? With less than [-]% of the primordial spirit left, how long can he last?"

Xue Yun shook his head and said: "I hope he will last a little longer. If this guy dies, the things left behind will be difficult to deal with."
